Monkey Business

Some thoughts about human existence

Monkey Business - an art work by T Newfields
You'z already crazy

There are masters around this planet
helping people discover
the art of transcending pain

You'z free ta enjoy monkey business
but were born for nobler aims

At some point
bananas will seem boring
& you'll become curious about
what's beyond jungle glades

Do all monkeys wake up
from arboreal reveries
why not become sane?
& confront the naked truth
existence continues
perfectly without us?

I am unsure.
The half-monkey says,
"So what?"
